Chip Encoding Services

chip encoding


At Universal Smart Cards, we offer chip encoding services to suit various needs and applications. Chip encoding has a few distinct phases.

Our services are comprehensive and allow you to add extra information for added levels of security, this is generally how our chip encoding process goes. 


How Does Chip Encoding At Universal Smart Cards Work?

Chip encoding has four critical phases. These are some of the phases you might go through when you work with us for your chip encoding needs.


Initialisation

Solutions that add data at the time of first use will need to have the chips initialised. This can include setting up data structures and defining the access rights for memory locations or areas.


Personalisation

After the initialisation stage, some applications need the chips to be uniquely identifiable when read electronically. This is perfect if you need to add credentials to your cards. If you do require added credentials, you'll need to ensure encryption to protect sensitive data.


Encryption

Encryption helps to prevent unauthorised reading or copying of a chip. At Universal Smart Cards, we can handle your encryption so that you can ensure your data is protected and secure at all times.


Applet Loading

Micro-controller chips with an operating system, like Javacard, need applets to be loaded to the chip to enable functionality. Applet loading can be undertaken by us in a high-security environment so that you don't have to worry about a thing.


Do I Need to Go Through Every Stage in the Chip Encoding Process?

Not necessarily! Most solutions will need at least one (if not more) of these phases for the chip to be used correctly and safely. We can do everything at our Technical Centre so that you know your chip encoding services are being handled by the best in the business.
